Ingredients
  

Base Ingredients
  • 1-2 tbsp butter (unsalted is best) for sautéing vegetables
  • 1 small yellow onion (chopped)
  • 2 large carrots (sliced into coins)
  • 2 large celery sticks (sliced, about ½ cup)
  • 3 large garlic cloves (minced) for flavoring
Liquid Ingredients
  • ⅓ cup whole wheat or all-purpose flour substitute gluten-free if needed
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken stock for the broth base
  • 1 cup milk (skim, 2%, or whole)
Vegetables
  • 1 ½ cups sweet potato (1 medium) or Yukon potatoes (~1 lb), cut into small cubes
  • 1 tsp salt plus more to taste
  • ½ tsp ground black pepper plus more to taste
  • 1-2 tbsp fresh thyme (or 1 tsp dried thyme)
Protein and Greens
  • 3-4 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie works great) for protein
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley (finely chopped)
  • 2-4 cups baby spinach (optional, chopped) for added nutrients

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large Dutch oven or pot, melt the butter over medium-low heat.
  2. Once melted, add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Cook for 6-8 minutes until they’re soft and wilted, stirring occasionally.
  3. In the last 30 seconds, toss in the minced garlic and stir well.
Cooking
  1. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and mix until they are coated. Allow it to cook for 1 minute.
  2. Carefully pour in the chicken stock and milk, then add the sweet potatoes, salt, pepper, and thyme.
  3. Stir to combine, bring to a boil, and then reduce the heat. Let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring every 4 minutes to avoid sticking.
  4. After simmering, add the cooked shredded chicken, frozen peas, parsley, and optional spinach. Allow everything to simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
Serving
  1. Before serving, taste and adjust the seasoning to your liking.
  2. Remove from heat and enjoy it warm alongside some homemade biscuits or garlic bread.
